What is the approximate conversion rate for the methanol synthesis reaction when it is carried out in a single pass without recycling?

The methanol synthesis reaction is carried out in a single pass without recycling, resulting in a higher conversion rate
Below 40%, with a higher load, the conversion rate is even lower
It mainly depends on the type of your reactor. There is a difference when the amount of catalyst loaded and the operating conditions are the same. This comparison can determine the quality of the reactor. It is meaningless to consider yield alone: because the yield of a synthetic reaction can be increased by raising factors such as temperature, pressure, and the amount of catalyst. The general yield is 7–8%, good yields are around 12%, while poor yields range from 3–5%
The conversion rate of CO is around 40–60; the higher the gas flow rate, the greater the conversion rate, while a lower gas flow rate results in a lower conversion rate
